    Multiple times I've completely acknowledged the Blazers missing players....and also add the complete picture that so was OKC....probably 3 of their best 4 players. We had our best player...and better than anyone they have now or are likely to have in a long time. Once again, we had more talent (much like the Bulls game) and came away with an embarrassing loss.

    I've very realistic about this team....have been for years. But that is the part that is so frustrating. That they continue to be pretty much the same thing season after season whether thay are healthy, injured, have new complimentary players, have have the most continuity in the league.

    Very frustrating watching Dame's prime erode away year after year after year....and sadly, that is the realistic truth I'm not happy about either.

    I think Dame has indicated he's fine with staying in Portland and that a championship isn't everything. He's been given the opportunity to recruit FA's and suggest potential trades. I would hope if he thought he was waisting his time here he would request big changes, and even he being traded. I dont see that as the case at this point in time. Dame is not bashful about communicating a displeasure or suggestions, and if he lost confidence in either Stott's or Neil he more than likely would request a change in scenery. Dame is the man in this town and will become a legend here, that probably means as much to him as a championship? I do think he's loyal to the organization so I guess we keep checking which way the wind blows for the team?
